Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth movie in the series about the Boy Who Lived, and it was one of the standout blockbusters of 2007. Only Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End made more money at the box office that year, with Warner Bros' title beating the likes of Spider-Man 3 and Shrek the Third to take the silver medal. It's one of the shortest in the franchise, however, and the DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film have nine deleted scenes that would have fleshed things out.

So, let's take a look at all of them and rank them in chronological order, starting with one that's quite lengthy at over two and a half minutes long...

Professor Trelawney Feasts

Harry Potter Trelawney

The start of year feast in the Order of the Phoenix movie is different than normal. Professor Dumbledore welcomes students back but is then surprisingly interrupted by a fake cough from the loathsome Dolores Umbridge. She then delivers a cryptic message to pupils, something Hermione Granger sums up perfectly when she says the Ministry of Magic is starting to interfere at Hogwarts. In a deleted scene, though, Umbridge's speech is dragged out even further.

As she talks, Professor Trelawney shows why she's so unreliable. She scoffs her face then starts to choke and ends up spilling cream on herself, which she then cleans by using a rather large glass of sherry. It's funny, but it drags on for far too long, so we're rather pleased it was cut. It also detracts from the importance of Umbridge's words, which basically set the stage for what's to come over the course of the year.

Neville Backs Harry

At the beginning of his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry finds himself being shunned. After Cedric Diggory's death during the events of Goblet of Fire, nearly everybody doesn't believe his version of events. They think Lord Voldemort's return is merely a fabrication of an attention-seeking imagination and Seamus Finnigan, despite previously being close to Harry, also thinks the same.

He confronts Harry in the movie, but, in the book, Neville sticks up for the Boy Who Lived. He does this in a deleted scene, too, saying his grandmother thinks the Daily Prophet is a load of rubbish and that they'll be canceling their subscription. Ultimately, his words come too late in this moment, with Harry already walking away. It all ends rather abruptly, too, so that perhaps explains why it wasn't included in the final cut.

Life In Gryffindor Tower

In the Order of the Phoenix movie, there's a cool panning shot of the Gryffindor common room, and there's an even longer version of this on the DVD and Blu-ray.

It shows Neville Longbottom happily playing with his Mimbulus mimbletonia, the weird little plant thing he carries around with him during the early stages of the movie. Seamus and Dean Thomas are playing chess, while students can be seen kissing near one of the windows. It helps flesh out the world a little bit more, showing just what students do when they're not in lessons or, in Harry's case, saving everybody every week. So, for that reason, we're rather fond of it.

Longer Trelawney Interrogation

McGonagall saves Trelawney from Umbridge in Harry Potter

As Umbridge sets about stamping her authority at Hogwarts—which is not an easy task, as the majority of students hate her right from the beginning—she starts to inspect and interrogate her teachers. Fans see her do this to Professors Snape, Flitwick, and Trelawney on screen. But, regarding the latter, a deleted scene shows a longer version of this.

Trelawney is blabbering away in class and becomes nervous when Umbridge enters the room. The Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher asks her to predict something, and her Divination counterpart insists that the "inner eye does not see on command." She also reveals she's been at the school for 16 years. It's all well-acted and true to the source material, but it slows down the pace of the movie, something that could explain its omission in the end.

Umbridge Revels In Bullying

Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, Greggory Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson from the Harry Potter series.

Fans of solely the Potter movies can be forgiven for wondering why Umbridge lets Slytherin students such as Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle be part of her Inquisitorial Squad. While they share her fondness for nastiness, it still somewhat warrants an explanation. However, a deleted scene from the Order of the Phoenix explains this perfectly.

Umbridge and Filch watch on from above as they witness the trio bullying a smaller pupil, throwing snowballs at him and then pushing the youngster to the ground. To the pair, this means Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle tick all the right boxes. It would have helped shed some light on why her squad was made up entirely of one house so perhaps has an argument to be included. The scene also perfectly sums up the way the villainous trio behaved at Hogwarts during their time there.

Filch Blows Out Umbridge's Fire

Argus Filch and Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

One of the best scenes from the fifth Potter movie is when Fred and George Weasley fly away from Hogwarts, leaving behind a scene of total chaos in the process. They do this while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sitting their O.W.L's. They cause all the exam papers to fly into the air, set off some of their own fireworks, and have Umbridge seething. Pretty commendable, if you ask us, though, if that happened during our own stressful exam, we perhaps wouldn't be pleased.

A deleted scene shows Filch blowing out Umbridge's hair, which would have only added to the comedy. It's very short, but, in a movie where the plot and aesthetics are all pretty dark, it would have brought some light relief. Ultimately, it was left out, perhaps because Harry then faints and sees a vision of Voldemort shortly afterward.

Umbridge's Monologue

Dolores Umbridge Order of the Phoenix

As the end of the movie edges closer, Umbridge is tricked into taking Harry and Hermione down to the Forbidden Forest. She reveals that she hates children, and, when the Centaurs show up, she totally loses the plot. She attacks them, enraging the creatures, who then cart her away and subject her to some (much-deserved) torment.

This is pretty epic, but the deleted scene is even better. Umbridge has a longer monologue, saying she's "tried to help you and install disciple and respect for decorum" during her time at the school. The witch also seems like she's about to kill Harry and Hermione, approaching them with her wand out and looking menacing. Fortunately, that doesn't happen, but Imelda Staunton's acting is brilliant, and, consequently, we feel it was worthy of inclusion in the final product.

Harry's Chat With Dumbledore

Dumbledore's Office Entrance

After Sirius Black's death, Harry and Albus Dumbledore talk things over in the Hogwarts headmaster's golden office. There, Dumbledore reveals all about the prophecy and how the Boy Who Lived is actually the Chosen One, somebody destined to do battle with Voldemort until one of them defeats the other.

It's sweet but far too short. A deleted scene, however, is lengthier. It's poignant seeing Harry walk into the office, taking a look at the Sorting Hat and the sword of Godric Gryffindor. It highlights all he's done so far, but it also shows how much more he has to do. We love a bit of nostalgia here, so this one definitely gets the thumbs up, and we're slightly baffled it was omitted from the theatrical release.

Ron's Attempt

Harry is understandably glum after Sirius' death. It is pretty devastating after all, losing the only member of his family who remotely cares about his existence. The Order of the Phoenix does a good job of showing Harry's feelings of grief, but they could have improved things had they gone with an omitted moment that's on the DVD and Blu-ray.

Ron pays Harry a visit in Gryffindor Tower, and, when the Boy Who Lived says he's not hungry, Ron says he isn't either. He's then dismissed, and, when he meets Hermione, he shakes his head. It's cute that the pair tried so hard to get Harry out of his pit of despair and shows just how close their friendship is. That same friendship would certainly come in handy when they help to avenge Sirius' death two years down the line.
